Lung cancer

I have just been diagnosed with lung cancer and have no other information a this time. I am very afraid of what happens to me now. It would be great to hear from others regarding this

  • Hi, I've also been recently diagnosed with a carcinoid lung tumour.  I've had a bronchoscopy and going for a pet scan tomorrow. I've had lung/heart function tests and bloods done.  I've been told that if it hasn't spread I will have surgery to remove the tumour.  The wait to find out if it has spread is very difficult and I am very anxious.  I've avoided reading a lot of info as I find it increases my anxiety.  I have spoke with the lung nurses who have been very helpful and when I feel up to it, I plan to go to my local maggies centre for support but to be honest I'm still reeling from the diagnosis.  I hope you are ok.  Sending love.
